The Nintendo DS is going to be hot. But it's $150. :-\ I don't know how the supply is yet; hopefully they'll run out by Christmas.

Whatever it is, I'm going to go to the store about buy 20 of them. Then if their price doesn't goes up, I'll return all of them for a refund. However, if their price go up insanely like the tickle me elmo's, I'll sell them all on eGay :D

LOL My guess is Hokey Pokey Elmo. I just saw a commercial for this and its hilarious ;D He says "You put your leg in, you put your leg out" etc... and then puts his legs and arms out.

My son has had that one for about a year now. I think it's gonna be something that isn't already out.

its got to be something thats already out, do you remember a couple years ago when 'furbies' were like going crazy for i remember reading in the paper about how peeps pay 500 bux for one, i mean jesus 19.99 for 500 bucks, good deal i see.

out here heres the things that are selling like hotcakes:

X-box (every store i went to were out of them selling w/ h2)
Halo 2 (xbox)
The New PS2 Thin System (i myself had to search 15 stores before i found one)
GTA: San Andreas (PS2)

But the video games will never run short IMO but its possible, the systems are selling like no other though, there is people out here selling on craigslist.org Xbox w/ Halo 2 250 bux, im like uhhh thats only 200 in the store brand new,

www.target.com/wakeup

I dont know if any of you have seen the commerical, but target is having an "early bird wake-up call" and you can have a variaty of people "call you and wake you up".

bacially you go to www.target.com/wakeup and enter in all your info,(this is free, no CC info) and then it gives you a 800 number you call from the number that you want the wake up call to call you, and it calls you at whatever time you want it to. hahaha darth vadar is calling my mom and dad at 4am. :P
